Hillary Clinton Courts Bush Mega-Donors Instead Of Bernie Voters

Clinton is actually going after both, Sanders supporters because she has said "“a great role” for Bernie Sanders and his supporters in a “unified party," and Sander has said he would support her and is not doubt looking for position under her be it VP or another. And she is in communication with members of the GOP who do not want Trump. Clinton is going to try and take the left, right and center.

Clinton whom is she was going up against almost any other GOP candidate from the primaries would be looking at very close race or even a loss has been handed an opportunity to score the largest Democratic victory ever. And she is one of the least popular candidates as well. It just so happens she is up against Trump who is so unpopular she is going to role into office with a huge win. Part of it thanks to GOP refusing to support Trump even against Clinton whom they hate.

It takes money to run a campaign.

Which is why she's in bed with Wall Street...... after trying to convince the common folks she's against them and shares John Q. Public's values.

Even if one does not like Bernie's political views, one have to admit he showed that with trust, integrity and passion the little people( ie the vast majority) will support you without you sounding like Mussolini , and that you actually don't need corporate bribes, for if ever there was a chance to free one's self from corporate influence this was it, there are honest people in both parties who want work for the benefit of the "little people" but knows they will be corrupted by the process.

Doesn't this just show that Bush was a big progressive?

This really isn't "news" but it is confirmation that my criticism of Bush and most republicans is correct. Most politicians are progressive, meaning that they want an authoritarian rule and bigger government.

Similar to socialism, but without the false sense of sincerity.

I don't know about progressive but neither were true conservatives. The Republicans never like to hear it but Obama has governed EXTREMELY similarly to Bush. They're both center/right. Hillary is also center/right. Oddly enough, Trump is center/left, but don't tell the Republicans and Democrats that the parties have flipped again because they just won't believe you.

At least in the short term it would seem so. Clinton would love to role into office with a win of historical prepositions and the conservative GOPs would love to see Trump fail so badly that he becomes irrelevant in politics and they can retake the party. What makes this possible is that it is not just politics, both the left and the right think Donald Trump would be a disaster for the US.

I've been hearing more and more pressure from the radio personalities lately that they need to abandon the #NeverTrump platform. For once they're probably correct too. They tried that, but it's over. It's either time to put up a feeble candidate or retreat and try again in 2-4 years.
